It is the psychotic vision of Jean Jacques Rousseau, the utterly self-serving, malicious, narcissist, who created the founding myth of the left.
Rousseau's motives for creating this myth are revealing. He had fathered five children with his servile and borderline-idiot mistress, Thérèse Le Vasseur. As each was born, he took them to the orphanage, an almost guaranteed death sentence in those times. Voltaire, who despised Rousseau, was getting on his case about murdering his children, which threatened Rousseau's social status with the elites and his ability to leech off them.
Rousseau responded that a perfect society would have raised the children, as he was not fit to be a father, and it was not his fault anyway as he had been corrupted by society. He created the myth of primal innocence, the noble savage, destroyed by the emergence of self consciousness and the division of labour. By comparison with this pristine state, all of society was condemned utterly.
There was no going back to that primal state, but the best that could be done was to subsume every individual in the collective, the General Will, to be disposed of as it saw fit. In order to achieve this, all ties, all relationships, all traditions and existing laws would have to be severed. He called this 'freedom.'
Individuality was abhorrent. Freedom was nothing but the freedom to serve the collective. People possessed by this myth, lodged deep and unchallenged in their psyches, have been driven to destroy society and impose totalitarianism since.
If you killed anyone who had caused a lot of change in the past, good or bad, you wouldn't be here and neither would I. If you went back in pattern and found that Hitler hadn't been born or had died you would have to get someone to play that part or again you couldn't be here. If we went back and found none of the goodies or baddies were there we would have to create them all in order for us to exist. So if you hate Christianity, or Islam or Buddhism or Bolshevism or Nazis or whatever you and everyone else who hated them would have to agree to create them or you couldn't exist and neither could they. But if we indeed found out these people never existed and we have to create our history we have to ask the obvious question, ........ Who wrote it in the first place? As John said "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God ......." The beauty of that reality would be that we would all have to agree to do this ie create people we hated that did a lot of damage and as none of these people had actually existed and we created them then what would we have left to fight about? Of course if we could do all that we could bring people here, that we had forced to live in the horrible realities that led to our creation, just before their deaths and leave a lump of meat there for them to bury or burn or whatever and patch them up in the here and now when they arrived here. We could call this heaven or hell, heaven if we the People do it and hell if the WEF do it. ;) ...... It is a pattern machine not a time machine.
These are all good observations, worth thinking about. Time travel is a nest of paradoxes.
On the face of it, there is at least a notional distinction between, let's say, Timeline-1, in which Hitler was mauled to death as a child by an escaped baboon, and Timeline-2, where a time-traveler, T, shot Hitler, thereby deleting the future where T was born and invented time-travel, creating a paradox!
In Timeline-1, T never comes into existence, but in Timeline-2, T has come into existence and shot Hitler, only to wink out of existence.
Every possible reality potentially exists but only those that catch their tail and create themselves become real boys and girls. The others simply fade away and their conceptual resources are then absorbed into ours. An infinity of potential universes can be created from the information of only half of one universe due to this and due to the matter mirroring that minimises information of course. You see E doesn't equal MC^2 but equals only half of that i.e. it takes the form of every other energy storage equation that has a half in front. Einstein knew nothing of the matter mirroring that creates everything. Hence the "Let us create them in our image" of the Bible. Who are the"We"? Maybe God uses a mirror "We see in a glass (a mirror) darkly and then face to face".
Two members of UB40 died in late 2021, perhaps unknown causes. Ironically, they made this song, "Don't break my heart", that must be calling out from their graves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9ReTsxCR5k
Saw him last month! The show rocked, the man rocked, end of story. Who wouldn't want the entire 2nd half of Dark Side of the Moon played live?? I don't even handle my original '73 press of that album with bare hands really. Quadraphonic! ....Ok, I'm really off topic from this Substack. Couldn't help it.
Here's the entire cantata, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society on gorgeous, authentic baroque instruments, in a Baroque-era church. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqZE54i-muE
Thanks, that was beautiful! It brings me to tears thinking that Western Civilization--Bach, Mozart, Shakespeare--is under assault, from within, by barbarians unfit to clean toilets.
It brings me to tears, too. I started crying soon after clicking on the link you posted. I was thinking maybe I should post a link to something serious and monumental, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT6vRpmyiW0
He is so underrated. Great guitar player and composer. Very distinctive voice which I’ve always loved. He did a duo album with Chet Atkinson that is wonderful. Here’s a favorite cut:
Here's a song sung by two patriots from Donbass. It's authentic because it's heartfelt, sung by people who've defied New World Order enemies with grenades and bullets. They are now risking everything to be free of the puppet corruptocracy in Kiev that takes orders from Washington. I'm afraid that the American nation as we've known it is dead. Like all corpses it cannot be brought back to life, not by stirring speeches, elections, or songs. The final nail in America's coffin was driven last night by the Democrat Party's private police corps, aka the FBI.
Nowadays I can't listen to Lennon's Imagine without thinking that it sounds like the theme song for the NWO!
I hear ya. Yoko claims to written the lyrics, which makes a certain creepy sense.
Hey, at least she didn’t sing it!
Yes I agree and coming as it did from someone with vast numbers of possessions including numerous houses it was really hypocritical even at the time.
I am okay with some of the song.
Should be read as a narrative voice not necessarily John Lennon speaking for himself despite tone
I used to like it but have come to see it as controlling and hypocritical which given the way he treated his first wife and son is hardly surprising.

Interesting. He has a lot to answer for.
If I had a time machine, I wouldn't shoot Hitler, but go directly to the source, Rousseau. Hitler would just end up as a second rate painter.

Always hated that song
Someone owns the physical machines John recorded upon
His voice is a physical possession
I have heard that Lennon was a Communist. No wonder it sounds like a theme song tor the NWO.
Van Morrison's new album, What's It Gonna Take, is very good.
So many good songs on that one!
Thanks MCM. I appreciate the music posts. You’re great at what you do.

An inspiring UB40 song that has come to be true for all of us is Sing our own song, "We will fight for the right to be free", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qll43T7yhCc

I remember and had a quadraphonic stereo system in the 70's.
That was great, thanks!
This was a good response to the Zuck offer from a few years back. https://www.bitchute.com/video/9ksRVJsvWc3B/
I always thought "What's Going On" was a question. Love the background B3.
Same thing a few hundred years earlier...Wordsworth: "Oh what's the matter? What's the matter?"
--Goody Blake and Harry Gill: a True Story
Another English major (like myself) heard from!
"Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,/ And to be young was very heaven."
Madrigals of love and mourning for our time
My bonnie lass she smileth
When she my heart beguileth. Fa la.
Smile less, dear love, therefore,
And you shall love me more. Fa la.
When she her sweet eye turneth,
O how my heart it burneth! Fa la.
Dear love, call in their light,
O else you burn me quite! Fa la.
-Thomas Morley
The silver swan, who living had no note
When death approached unlocked her silent throat;
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more:
Farewell, all joys; O death, come close mine eyes;
More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise.
-Orlando Gibbons
Death hath deprived me of my dearest friend;
My dearest friend is dead and laid in grave.
In grave he rests until the world shall end.
The word shall end, as end all things must have.
All things must have an end that Nature wrought;
That Nature wrought must unto dust be brought.
- Thomas Weelkes
These are lovely. Here's Robinson Jeffers
The Stars Go Over The Lonely Ocean
Unhappy about some far off things
That are not my affair, wandering
Along the coast and up the lean ridges,
I saw in the evening
The stars go over the lonely ocean,
And a black-maned wild boar
Plowing with his snout on Mal Paso Mountain.
The old monster snuffled, "Here are sweet roots,
Fat grubs, slick beetles and sprouted acorns.
The best nation in Europe has fallen,
And that is Finland,
But the stars go over the lonely ocean,"
The old black-bristled boar,
Tearing the sod on Mal Paso Mountain.
"The world's in a bad way, my man,
And bound to be worse before it mends;
Better lie up in the mountain here
Four or five centuries,
While the stars go over the lonely ocean,"
Said the old father of wild pigs,
Plowing the fallow on Mal Paso Mountain.
"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy
And the dogs that talk revolution,
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks.
Long live freedom and damn the ideologies,"
Said the gamey black-maned boar
Tusking the turf on Mal Paso Mountain.
Wending its way amidst my cells. Thank you for sharing.
Nice one, thank you.
Thank you for posting these.
Great postings. So many songs, so little time. Music is such a great resource for all of us.
"Without music, life would be a mistake." (Friedrich Nietzsche.)
I wonder what he actually said, in German. "Mistake" doesn't sound right to me. I think the quote should be "Without music, life would be unbearable."
I love it when you post music, Mark. It goes right to my heart and elicits feelings of love and unity.
Great songs! I'm gonna go even further in the past to a song whose title seems very appropriate for our nightmarish time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY6O3MSBY3Y

Magnificent! Thanks.
Always fun to see Mark Knopfler pop up in unexpected places. He’s one of my fave’s.
He is so underrated. Great guitar player and composer. Very distinctive voice which I’ve always loved. He did a duo album with Chet Atkinson that is wonderful. Here’s a favorite cut:

Unfortunately, listening to them reminds me of everything we’ve lost and it just makes me sad. 😢
Thank you!
Those dreams…, those voices that were there when some of us were growing, awakening, slowly. Such beauty.
We all need the hope, the warmth.
Being human.
We honor the light, the sun.
Here it comes!
☀️💚🌍
Thank you for the version of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On".
I've never seen it - SO good.
Is that a Steinway?
Just great songs, thank you so much - but my favorite song is this one "I Will Not Comply"
https://youtu.be/b_sEYlTwi54
YES! Thank you! I played this nonstop last fall.....
I understand you - runs with me also again and again and again....
